as she tried to explain herself. “The point is that you should only have sex with people you know well. People you respect. Admire, even. I took that advice to heart. I’ve never had sex with a guy I didn’t know and trust.”
    “Ahh.” Jill smiled and nodded. “I had a feeling it was something like that.” She picked up her glass to take another drink.
    “So I told him he could fuck me, if I could fuck him first.”
    The table was now covered in a fine spray of vodka, grapefruit juice and Aperol. Accompanied by Lizzie’s laughter ringing out through the empty bar.
    “That’s about what he did,” she said, still laughing hard.
    “I can’t…I can’t imagine what went through his mind,” Jill said, furiously wiping vodka from her shirt and the table. “He doesn’t know your sense of humor, Lizzie.”
    There was stark silence from across the table, and Jill stopped her cleanup to look at her. “I wasn’t kidding,” she said, straight-faced. “I don’t like to waste time with guys who aren’t flexible.”
    “Flexible?” Jill knew she was staring, but couldn’t help herself. “A guy who’d do that would have to be very, very flexible.”
    “You don’t?” She batted her eyes, totally knocking Jill off stride.
    “I don’t what?”
    “Allow women to fuck you,” she said, as though they were having a normal conversation.
    “I…I…I don’t think that’s something I want to talk about.”
    “That means you do,” she announced, a sly grin blooming. “If you didn’t, you’d deny it.”
    “For god’s sake, Lizzie, I have a…” She struggled to find the right word, without sounding crass. “I’m designed for that.”
    “So are guys,” she said blithely. “Men need to see what it feels like to be on the bottom once in a while. To know how it feels to be pushed into doing something you’re nowhere near ready for.”
    “I am really, really never going to fix you up again. No wonder Scott looked like he’d seen a ghost!”
    “He was a big baby,” she said, waving her hand. “I don’t pound away at a guy every night. I just want someone who’s open to new things. The fact that Scott shut me down without a moment to think about it showed me he wasn’t my type.”
    “Lizzie,” Jill said carefully. “You wanted to fuck him in the…”
    “In the ass,” Lizzie supplied when it became clear Jill was a little squeamish. “Guys always ask for that, and my butt is no more made for it than theirs is. Turnabout is fair play.”
    “But Scott didn’t ask for that.” She swallowed nervously. “He didn’t, did he?”
    “No, I think he wanted standard sex. But he got all prudish when I told him what I needed in an LTR.”
    “LTR?”
    “Long term relationship. I like to get everything out of the way up front,” she said, very businesslike. “I waited too long with Jon, and now he thinks I misled him.”
    Jill put her head down on the table and moaned. “Oh, god. He broke up with you because he didn’t want to be on the receiving end of your…”
    “Dildo. I have a dildo, Jill. And a harness. Actually, I have two. Dildos. A small one for men,” she added, her devilish smile making her eyes sparkle.
    “Damn it, Lizzie, you’re going to be single for a very long time if that’s an entrance requirement.”
    Lizzie laughed. “ Entrance requirement. That’s funny.” She shook her head. “That’s not a requirement. It’s something I like, but only if a guy’s into it. I just brought it up because Scott was pushing me, and I wanted to push back.”
    Jill leaned back and looked at her for a minute. “That makes sense. Kind of.” She took a sip of her drink, then nodded when the server strolled by and asked if they wanted another. She didn’t usually have two cocktails by six o’clock, but this wasn’t a usual day.
    “It makes perfect sense. Jon wasn’t into it, but he also didn’t push me to do things I didn’t want to do. Our relationship was very
